Empathising with those receiving disappointing news, we know well how that feels. We have been fortunate and my daughter has a recall for "The other School" so we are delighted. Good luck to everyone still to audition. xx

Thanks for starting this thread Hecouldshine; it really helped DD in deciding to audition, sorry to hear it's a no this time for DS and for your child too Begolina. DD has had the thank you for coming but..response many times too. As you say " next"... And the family holiday is safe at least Hecouldshine.
DD has also been fortunate this time and got a recall for Whistle down the Wind which she is thrilled about. She really enjoyed the audition day; I think they try to make it fun for everyone and she had a ball.
DD sang Castle on a Cloud from Les Mis as did another girl before her and probably some others sang it too! I suspect it doesn't matter what the song is so long as you bring piano music and avoid backing track and it's a musical theatre number, age appropriate and sung with conviction.
Good luck to those with auditions still to come and for those with recalls too xx

Hi Lindy7

My dd has been recalled for the the other school and wdtw, she is 11 and sang " the girl I mean to be" from the secret garden not what what she had prepared for this audition (she was going to sing different from honk) but she had sung the song recently made the decision as they said they wanted something shorter.

They said that is was quite an old fashioned choice, but a good one. ( her words not mine )

Good luck to your dd x

Dd also really enjoyed the day as a stand alone experience so it seems a good experience for all :D

That's what I should have said - the NAPM catch phrase! Sorry about the no begolina :(

Yes - but they say it will be 2 months to find out :(

I'm not that patient :roll: DD is most cross with me

She had a great time & did fine with the dancing, but was more concerned with the singing & acting

Hi
DS is thinking of trying for the YMT , they have spaces still for this sunday (well we only just found out about it!!!!) - he is a good actor but not so hot on singing and dancing. I see that mostly the shows are musicals, but one of the shows is looking for actors.

I don't think you have to take a song to do, sounds like its group singing and dancing, which he may be OK with.

Are they reallly only looking for singers and dancers or do they accept people just to be actors? Would it be a complete waste of time going if you aren't a brilliant singer?

Also, if you get through are you then going to have a pay a lot of money for the training, shows etc?

Hi Tikka

My dd has done YMT for the last 3 years, and I would say it is mainly singers they are looking for. You are assessed in all 3 disciplines and I think it is a total score that will get you a 'yes'. Dancing is possibly less important for some shows, but it may be different this year with the 'film' option. You don't need to take a song but they will teach you a song and you do have to sing on your own. The auditions are great fun and my dd is going to Leeds this sunday. :D :D
